Ebonic Language

Ebonic is a term that was originally intended to refer to the language of all people descended from enslaved Black Africans, particularly in West Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. Since the 1996 controversy over its use by the Oakland School Board, the term Ebonics has primarily been used to refer to African American Vernacular English, a dialect distinctively different from Standard American English.

This videos show how ebonic English is used and also a funny example of a reaction of someone who doesn't wants to use the word black (as he would usually do) in front of one and trying to be politically correct, though with no results.
